Liverpool explores Francisco Conceicao as alternative option this summer

Liverpool has made contact with Juventus winger Francisco Conceicao, identifying him as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah, who is a free agent. The Premier League club considers Conceicao a more affordable option than their primary target, Bradley Barcola of Paris Saint-Germain, whose transfer fee is around €170 million. Conceicao, who is 23 years old and made six goals and five assists last season, would cost at least €50 million according to Juventus, who are not under pressure to sell after acquiring him for €41.5 million earlier this summer. Liverpool aims to finalize their attacking options before the new season starts.
